The most anticipated movie of 2018, Black Panther is already selling out theaters and making Marvel history before its release date.
Many Marvel fans have been waiting for the first black superhero to make an appearance on the big screen since the character was first introduced in 1966!
Black Panther focuses on the superhero King T’Challa in a fictional country named Wakanda, played by lead actor Chadwick Boseman.
